damn thats a sick venue

[boothea]

@andyboytoon You're watching this video and you're saying he can't sing live?! I'd like to see you play like that AND sing at the same time...

[Peace0MamaCas]

@boothea That's so funny...I was thinking how hard it must be to play the violin and sing like that at the same time. Then I scroll down and see your comment! Ha.

I'm studying folk music in Music class, and it's amazing, because everyone just sits, slumped in thier chairs or doodling, then we're told that we're gonna listen to a Seth Lakeman piece, and we're all just like 'Yeah!'. He makes Folk Music awesome :')

MINACK THEATER!!!

@Jazperanza Yeah, I'm struggling with that too... But for this one particular song that I wrote, i've become too attached to my violin part :P...

0:08 - 0:33 bitwang i love that funny instraments

[Jazperanza]

@jwheeler91 Yeah, it's getting easier! The trick is to not compose tricky melodies and sing at the same time. Seth usually sticks with chords when he sings - I should try that! :P

[Jazperanza]

@jwheeler91 sorry! Wasn't trying to pick a fight. :-)

@Jazperanza In reply to your message to boothea, keep at it! You'll get there, took me ages to get it. My mate plays the cello in my band and can harmonise really well, but not simultaneously yet. He's getting a lot better. It just takes time.

@Jazperanza I already corrected myself about this song. He is using a violin in this song. However the song "Hearts & Minds" goes lower than a violin can go, so it must be a viola in that song (not this one). Before I found this song I read that he now mainly plays viola. Which might be true about new songs??? Hearts and Minds is definitely on viola... Race to Be King is definitely on violin... :P

I'm sitting here dancing and grinning at my laptop like a goon...
